ANT Fest 2013:

THE GIRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST

JUNE 17 @ 7PM, $15

Created by Rady&Bloom Collective Playmaking

Adapted & Directed by Jeremy Bloom

Music by Catherine Brookman, Ellen O'Meara & Joe White

Before the West was won there was one girl, a gold rush, a gun shot, a first kiss. Rady&Bloom blows the dust off an American classic heralded as the first Spaghetti Western. Featuring a genre-defying original score, this new musical sheds light on our nation's forgotten periphery.

This performance comes to you as part of ANT Fest, Ars Nova's month-long Festival of All New Talent!

ANT Fest 2013:

THE WOODSMAN

JUNE 18 @ 7PM, $15

Created by James Ortiz & Diana Stahl

Directed by James Ortiz

Music by Edward W. Hardy

Woodsman-in-love Nick Chopper has been transformed into a heartless Tin Man by a Wicked Witch determined to prevent his happiness. Strangemen & Co. delves deeper into the history of L. Frank Baum's beloved character, using Bunraku puppetry and song to offer a unique, heartbreaking and adult perspective on a classic story.

ANT Fest 2013:

SHOWGASM: ANT Fest Edition

JUNE 20 @ 9PM, $5

What is Showgasm, you ask? It's joy realized, a perm that WORKS, heated drama in a high school show choir. Or more simply put, a raucous variety show with performances ranging from hilarious to titillating to utterly inappropriate. Come. You've never looked better!

WARNING: May lead to spontaneous singing, dancing, and/or an unexpected climax.

Lineup: Diana Joy, Justin Sayre, Trixie & Monkey, Greg Johnson, Eva Andersen & Joan Estep

ANT Fest 2013:

DEBUTANTE

JUNE 21 @ 7PM, $15

Created & Directed by Annie Tippe

Written by Ryann Weir

Four heiresses living in decadence during the Great Depression straddle 1930's feminine grace and 1980's camp and opulence. This comedic show is a loving portrait of poor little rich girls coming of age as they're presented to the world.

JUNE 22 @ 7PM, $15

Created & Performed by Chad Luke Schiro

Featuring Heather Lang, Vasthy Mompoint & Angie Canuel

This sketch-pop-dance odyssey offers a look at the absurdity of humans. From R.E.M. to Nicki Minaj, Russell Brand to the Pope (not to mention plenty of monkeys), wild times are in store in this fast-paced, down 'n dirty dance through the racy rainforest.
